Chapter 199 Love makes people blind
"It's gone now."
Guan Weizi slowly withdrew his hand, and gently rubbed his fingertips lovingly, but his face remained expressionless.
The Maybach drove to Qiao Suisui's home with ease. She recognized the familiar street scene and suddenly turned to look at Guan Weizhi and said, "I don't think I told you where my home address is when I got in the car just now."
The car fell into silence. Guan Weizi sat in the back seat, motionless and silent.
Old Tang, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was sweating profusely. He laughed and said, "I'm so sorry, Miss Qiao, Mr. Guan didn't say anything. I thought he was going to take you back to school."
Qiao Susu’s home and school are indeed on this road.
She nodded and said politely to Old Tang: "Just let me drop off at the hotel opposite the school."
Guan Weizhi tilted his head to look at her and asked, "Why are you staying in a hotel?"
"It's just a transition period. I'll move when I find a suitable house."
Qiao Sui Sui had never planned to live on campus. She had a different schedule from her roommates. She was a light sleeper and couldn't sleep well with a little light or noise. In addition, she now had a plan to get rid of that home, so the first step was to prevent Qiao's mother from knowing where she was.
Guan Weizhi frowned slightly, "When did you decide? I haven't heard you mention it before."
"just."
Guan Wei choked.
This child is getting better and better at choking. Is he entering his rebellious phase?
The man thought so in his heart, but his face remained calm. He knew that he had been too strict with her today, and was afraid that she would not tell him anything in the future, so he put on the appearance of a "good teacher".
"It's fine to move out. No matter where you live, you should study hard. I heard from Professor Xu that your attendance rate in some of your public basic courses is a bit low."
Qiao Suisui said nonchalantly, "It's a bit of a waste of time to take that kind of class."
Guan Weizi raised his eyebrows. Is this still the good boy he knew before?
"So what did you do when you skipped class? Tell me."
Qiao Suisui said calmly, "Make money."
"I work as a part-time night clerk at 711 for 30 yuan an hour, I write for self-media for 200 yuan an hour, I tutor for 300 yuan an hour but I have to split the money with the agency 50-23, and I have some sporadic part-time jobs, with an hourly wage of about 82 yuan. My required courses add up to 4100 hours a week. Excluding my normal rest time, I have 4100 hours to use. If there are no accidents, my weekly income is yuan," she said skillfully and calmly, looking at Guan Weizhi, " yuan is my monthly living expenses plus rent. So taking public basic courses is meaningless except for wasting my time."
If she wants to be independent, she must be able to support herself.
This is also the reason why she opened a hotel in the game world even though she had no shortage of money.
It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone.
Guan Weizi looked at her in a daze, feeling as if his heart was being grasped by someone's hand, causing a sharp pain.
Just the bottle of wine for the meal cost 30,000 yuan. If it were any other ordinary girl like Qiao Suisui who had not yet entered society and wanted to take shortcuts, she would have started to please herself. Even those who had some backbone would become restrained and uncomfortable, revealing nervousness and inferiority in their every move.
But Qiao Susu settled the accounts with him in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, without hiding her situation, and without any embarrassment or awkwardness, as if she was just answering his questions without too many thoughts or emotions.
If Guan Weizhi still had a subconscious "disdain" for her family of origin before, Qiao Suisui's attitude at this moment made his inadvertent sense of superiority disappear, and made his elite attributes of calculating everything nowhere to hide, and even ashamed. The man completely understood her attitude. For Qiao Suisui, no matter how rich Guan Weizhi was, it had nothing to do with her. She got along with him in a mature manner beyond her age, and even told him in a sincere way-I respect you, not because of your identity, but because you helped me, and I am very grateful.
Guan Weizhi suddenly realized that the only way to win Qiao Susu's respect and love was to show his true heart.
He was silent for a long time, then gently pinched the back of her neck, and then withdrew his hand. There was no ambiguity in his action as if he was rewarding her.
"Are you busy enough? Isn't your internship coming up soon?"
Qiao Suisui smiled and said, "I will arrange my time reasonably. I don't plan to take other part-time jobs. The self-media company likes my articles very much, so they increased my hourly wage to 400."
Guan Weizhi touched her head, his tone was so gentle that he didn't even notice it: "Your idea is quite right. When I was your age, I wasn't as smart as you. I thought making money was about constantly increasing sources of income, so I made myself very tired. But in fact, making money is a process of constantly raising prices. Originally, you made 50 yuan an hour, but with endorsements, experience, qualifications, connections, and even packaging, you can turn an hour into 400 yuan, which is a way to get twice the result with half the effort."
Qiao Suisui tilted her head to look at him and said, "Teacher Guan, you are suitable for teaching finance."
Guan Weizi's hands froze.
Old Tang glanced nervously at the rearview mirror and moved his butt nervously.
Guan Weizhi coughed and said, "That's not my ambition."
Qiao Sui Sui did not ask further. Guan Weizhi patted her head, silently withdrew his hand, and remained silent for a while. Old Tang also breathed a sigh of relief.
The car stopped steadily at the destination. Guan Wei drove her to the hotel entrance, watched her walk in, watched her back disappear in the elevator, and stood motionless at the door.
Old Tang got off the bus and stood by the door waiting. He stood there for more than ten minutes. When he saw Guan Weizi turning around with a lot on his mind, he immediately stepped forward and opened the door for him.
"Mr. Guan, where are you going?"
Guan Weizi looked out the window, then turned to look at the seat where Qiao Susu had sat, with a rare hint of loss in his eyes.
"Hua Ting Imperial Palace."
Hua Ting Yufu is where he usually lives, near the company, and he goes there when he doesn't go back to Guan's house. It's obviously a familiar home, but Guan Weizhi always feels an inexplicable loneliness lingering in his heart at this moment.
Old Tang had just started driving when he heard a cold and low voice coming from the back seat: "Wait, go back and get my things and bring them up to me later."
"Ah?" Before Old Tang could react, he saw Guan Weizhi had already gotten off the car.
With a look of astonishment on his face, he watched Guan Weizi walk with his long legs into an old budget hotel chain.
This hotel looks old from the outside, but the facilities and services inside are quite good. However, even so, when has his boss ever lived in such an environment? Old Tang looked at Guan Weizi's steps and seemed to be slightly excited.
He shook his head and sighed: "Love makes people blind."
It’s not that Guan Weizi was blinded by love, but he realized tonight that there was no way for him to get close to her except by appearing beside her as a teacher.
The identities, status, economic foundation, circle, and class of the two are completely different, and the world they see is also completely different. Guan Weizhi is not wrong. Everything he showed tonight is the most normal world for him. Qiao Suisui is not wrong either. She frankly and sincerely tells the world she sees. Guan Weizhi has never felt the malice from the world since he grew up, and Qiao Suisui has experienced the warmth and coldness of human feelings at a young age. The very different parts of each of them may be charm when love is budding, but after love fades, it is a difference that is difficult to eliminate.
Thinking of this, Guan Weizi could no longer sit still and wait for death.
Before tonight, he thought Qiao Susu was a flower he carefully nurtured, but now he was seriously considering their future.
